Browman's Character, still need to sort out gear, but he will be using a great axe.
A standard Barbarian
Thoros found his calling in life at rather young age, in his 15th summer his family was traveling with a caravan. On route between villages they were set upon by bandits, Thoros was at the back helping fix a cart that threw a wheel when the attack came. He watched as his family was cut down by the outlaws and an uncontrollable rage came over him, he grabbed an axe out of one of the carts and blindly attacked. Moments that he barely recalled later and the surviving bandits were fleeing, several of their number dead at thoros' hands. Since that day he has worked as a caravan guard protecting others from the bandits that slew his family. In the years since he has learned how to effectively channel his anger when the moment is right and found a way to call on his ancestor's spirits in the process.
Often now, his bulk, axe and imposing stare can be equally effective in solving a problem.
I'm up for it.
I ultimately decided on a Slayer. Though, given the ludicrous amounts of martials I'm seeing right now that is very ikely to change. I'll mess with the concept a bit and see what comes out.
How exactly is HP being handled? Did I miss the post explaining that?
HP is max. The post is there somewhere.
Backstory and description added.
I think I'd like to give this a shot if you don't mind a first time PbP player (I think I catch on quickly). I'm interested in a Zen Archer Monk cocktail of sorts. I have a build I'm playing with that has several other level dips tied to backstory. Too bad we're not Gestalt! :) I'd like to discuss race in private first.
So I think my guy is essentially done :D
I still need to sort out equipment, and my second trait. Also, I guess I could create a discription of my guy, and more fluff is always a good thing!
Also... MODIFIERS!!! Modifiers for EVERYTHING!!!!
PS, Ziggs, we start at lvl 2 :)
Sounds like loads of fun
Oh yes, swiming will be the death of him (literally!) and i was actually wondering last night what it would take to actually get up a rope. I invision lots of failed checks and no small amount of falling!
Do you have a link for the discussion?
Should be at top of page
Sorry, noob... Wow, that all happened quickly.
Sorry it's taken me longer than I thought. Looks like I missed the boat on the discussion thread. I'll try to get my guy figured out and posted by tonight.
I wonder who said that XD
No torch, i got darkvision 90ft, so any last word about the armor? I am favoring rich parents and non mwk stoneplate.
Sorry folks, I think I'm going to have to drop out. I've been too busy today and taken too long to get my stuff together. You've already made a lot of progress and I don't want to hold you up. Good luck and have fun.
So can we kill him off?
(sorry XD good luck in your future endevours)
You didn't run me off. I think I was just trying to make something too difficult. If you can give me a few days I'll simplify and work it out.
Hey, going to run a human MoMs Monk/Brawler. I'm interested in playing him as Lawful Evil (as a sort of assassin for hire: he doesn't enjoy killing, but he certainly doesn't mind it). He's a cold-hearted man, and as long as there is a job, he will take it. I could also see him playing as more lawful neutral, but I see him as a kind of James Bond-esque character (less Cha though!) :P
I will write some background later. Also just saw that we have 1300 gp to spend.... may revise his traits/items.

Attropos, I don't think a monk can wear a chainshirt, or use a buckler without losing their monk abilities. Also they don't get proficiencies wth shield or armor any way.
Edit. Rechecking I suppose you could, if you wanted to have bad armor check penaties, and the loss of some of your abilities. A move I have never thought of. Does give you a good starting AC. And as a monk of many styles you don't get flurry of blows anyway.
Reedit. Also as your chainshirt counts as MW, in combination with your trait armor expert is 0 penalty. So with a MW buckler...
That is clever.
I know :P. I plan on not taking any more monk levels (not my favored class heh), so they would go away at next level anyways (if I had them, with 1 level of Fighter (Brawler)). Ideal armor for me is a Mithral Breastplate, but first priority is a +1 Chain Shirt of Brawling...
I'm trying to see if we can reflavor the buckler as a hard metal vambrace. Somehow I just don't see a small shield when my character is fighting.....
Aleksei Volkov settled back in his chair as he sipped on fiery clear liquid in one of the seedier bars in Azora. The thirty-two year old man would be handsome in his own way, with short blonde hair and piercing blue eyes, but his coarse manners often rubbed people the wrong way, especially combined with the few scars on his face. That's why he prefered it here, along with his fellow rif-raf. Not that he was legitimate rif-raf: he had been trained by an order of legendary monks renowned for their prowess in unarmed attacks, but due to his cold-hearted behavior had become a bit of a black sheep, and left his order.
No matter , thought Alexsei. He hadn't relied on his order in quite some time, having picked up many jobs as an assassin. Most people underestimated the amount of pain he inflicted with his hands. He enjoyed the thrill of the hunt, but more importantly, the money that came with it. Killing was just a job to him, and people often saw the coldness in his eyes when observing him carefully. He was a man of his word however, and this is what brought many clients to him. A trustworthy assassin was a good assassin most of the nobles thought, and his discreteness ironically had made some of his infamy.
He thumbed through the letter in his hand; a letter from the Order. He barked a short laugh, finding it humorous that such an order of goodly people paid the best. As he pondered whether or not to take the summons, he thought about the pros and cons of working with possibly stuck up people. What the hell , muttered the assassin finally, paying his tab with a gold piece and getting up to leave, It'll probably be better than drinking myself to death another night.
Alexsei is an extremely athletic man, about 5'10" and 175 lbs. He has short-cropped blonde hair and blue eyes, giving him an appearance similar to Daniel Craig's Bond, or a younger Vladamir Putin. He wears a chain shirt under his dark leather armor, giving it surprising strength. He has a metal vambrace on one arm with 3 short blades which he uses as a sheild.
Sort of a batman parry
Sort of a batman parry
Exactly what I was thinking. Batman meets Bond/Bourne.
Thoros has all his gear now, he is saving the rest of his gold for purchasing a handy haversack when he gets enough money.
I spent a long while last night working on my character page and lost it. Very sad... It pays to hit the save button now and then. I've got basic info up now and hope to have more details up as the day progresses. Sorry for my wishy-washiness.
I know the feeling :p i copy every post before i hit the post button. I lost way to many posts XD
So many posts i could build a fence XD
Glad to have made the cut :)
Now time to roll into action ^-^
Are you going to get a gameplay thread or are we going to keep doing this in the disscussion?
Happy to be chosen
As to the age trial, finish it off if you want. It will add depth to our characters. I'm easy with both choices though.
Have fun guys.
Thanks for the +1 GM. :) Hope I keep party alive. And im too curious to leave the fact we turned left. What happened?
